Pfft~! Fools! I live in a Faraday house, have a Faraday car, and my entire wardrobe is 100% Faraday! Except my underwear... chaffing... And socks. But my shoes are still good to go!

Living Room / The Net Is Mightier Than The Sword
« Last post by Renegade on December 25, 2014, 07:16 AM »
This is a presentation from one of my favourite journalists/analysts.



I was rather surprised to see him at a TEDx event though. He is definitely outside of the typical TED narrative, though he is greatly toned down in this presentation. (e.g. He's a fairly regular contributor on RT.)

But, the message will be familiar to many here, though perhaps a bit more focused than usual.

Well, we'll see.

There's enough push back in Australia and Canada now to resist the censors. With the recent incidents there, people immediately spoke up saying, "Leave my bloody freedom alone!"

So, who knows? Most things will likely be low-key secrets from companies that nobody will care about.

I'm hoping for Area 51 leaks!

ALIENS!!! DISCLOSURE!!! :P ;D  :Thmbsup:

"Don't trust these ignorant American bastards!" - Text under the name.

"War will begin!" - Text on missile.

Nope. Not going. I'll wait for it to come out on DVD/rental. Also, I doubt it's playing here - everything takes a lot longer.

Everyone is familiar with sites that let you login with Google accounts, Facebook, Twitter, etc. That OAuth stuff.

This takes it to a new level where you can login without a 3rd party.

http://bytemaster.bi.../22/BitShares-Login/

There's a lot of cool stuff in there, but I'll only paste one nifty snippet:

The other property it is important to highlight is a unique characteristic of the ECDSA signature verification algorithm. In most asymmetric cryptosystems, a function V(K, S, T) takes the public key, signature, and signed text as parameters and returns a simple true/false value indicating whether the signature is valid or not. This is the behavior of RSA, for example. In ECDSA, however, a verification function takes only two parameters, S and T, and returns K. The signature is valid if the returned K matches the signer’s public key. This is a significant difference, as both the client and server in the above Login protocol use signatures to recover the other party’s public key, which they then look up on the blockchain to determine the other party’s identity. In other words, the signature verification is not used to determine if the signature is valid, but to determine the identity of the other party.

Ok, 2:

Thus, given the semantic security of ECDSA and ECDH, the worst attack a malicious party with full control over the communication medium could leverage is denial of service.

And there's a Simple Machines Forum plugin!

https://github.com/B.../Bitshares-SMF-Login

tl;dr - A login system where YOU control your information, and not a 3rd party like Facebook.

And the cryptoanarchists come out Wikileaks style with a decentralised information marketplace...

http://slur.io

Slur
you're going to hate it.


Introducing Slur
 
Slur is an open source, decentralized and anonymous marketplace for the selling of secret information in exchange for bitcoin. Slur is written in C and operates over the Tor network with bitcoin transactions through libbitcoin. Both buyers and sellers are fully anonymous and there are no restrictions on the data that is auctioned. There is no charge to buy or sell on the Slur marketplace except in the case of a dispute, where a token sum is paid to volunteers.

...

The types of information we expect to see on the Slur marketplace ;

  •   Trade secrets.
  •   Designs for every type of consumer product.
  •   The source code for proprietary operating systems and high end CAD software.
  •   Zero day exploits. For the market defined value rather than a price determined by the corporations under the guise of a bounty with the veiled threat of legal action should the researcher choose to sell elsewhere.
  •   The details of backdoors covertly installed inside industrial and consumer hardware and software.
  •   Stolen databases. Corporations will no longer be able to get away with an apology when they fail to secure their customers confidential data. They will have to pay the market value to suppress it.
  •   Proof of tax evasion from disgruntled or underpaid employees. Both the IRS and the public have an interest in that information and the corporations will have to bid to suppress it - a very quantifiable and predictable payoff for the seller.
  •   Military intelligence relevant to real-time conflicts.
  •   Aerospace and defense designs.
  •   Evidence relevant to ongoing trials.
  •   Unflattering celebrity photos and videos.
  •   The complete databases of social media sites like facebook.
  •   Proof of government corruption. Close to an election.

More at the link.

Get your popcorn. Leaks are about to get very real.

This is from one of those Youtube channels that I really enjoy. (See~! They're not all about aliens! :P )

This short video ends in a nifty little quote that I think some may find entertaining, especially if you've actually watched the video and not skipped to the end.

Living Room / Re: For better security, maybe it's time to abandon e-mail?
« Last post by Renegade on December 22, 2014, 09:24 AM »
Probably the only thing I've seen out there remotely close to being secure and of similar functionality to email is in fact bitcoin, which allows you to attach a text message to a transaction that is encrypted as it is carried by the blockchain and is only viewable by the intended recipient.

But people are already worried about blockchain bloat, if you attached email's traffic volume to the blockchain the storage requirements would increase exponentially.

e.g. Bitmessage. :)

It's a start. Y'know... eating an elephant and all? NOM~! NOM~! :P

General Software Discussion / Re: Tool to facilitate transcribing speech
« Last post by Renegade on December 22, 2014, 12:03 AM »
Since you've asked, my own software. (Link is in my sig.)

I've used it many times for transcribing videos, interviews, etc.

The main things that help are:

  • Full and zoomed waveforms to "see" where you are
  • Slowing down the speech
  • Setting loop points
  • Configurable "skip" lengths to quickly navigate
  • Keyboard shortcuts to toggle looping on/off, etc.

On some systems .NET 4.0 Full Profile is required (not the client profile). (This is due to how MS changed where some functions are.)

There's a 15 day trial as well.

I have to disagree with their refusal to comply on the grounds that it already leaked. This becomes a means of defeating freedom of information requests.

To exploit this, they accidentally on purpose leak a fake version of the document that is either censored or contains a different message than the actual message being requested.

Compliance should be required anyway as per the law, and since it already apparently leaked they should have no problems in doing so because people already know what it should say.

Yup. It goes to chain of custody being an issue.

Yes. Email is broken. It was always broken. It was designed with small networks in mind, and not what we have now.

I used to rant about email being broken for many years, then gave up. But it's nice to see that some people are noticing just how broken it is.

Only something entirely new will work.

For something interesting to look at, check out Bitmessage.

If you get off on math, physics, chemistry, electricity, magnetics, acoustics, sound, frequency, and music, you have to see this.



I already posted this in the music video thread, but it's just way toooooo interesting to not post here.

Like, FFS... Where can you see someone actually use a FARADAY SUIT?!?!

Faraday suit? Tesla coils? That's just awesome beyond awesome!  :Thmbsup: :Thmbsup: :Thmbsup: :Thmbsup: :Thmbsup:

Standing waves. And standing waves of flames!

It's damn hard to beat that for coolness!

Be sure to follow up and check out the "how we did it" videos. They give more insight, like how video frame rates relate to what you see.

A FARADAY SUIT!
